ENERGY STAR HOMES PAY OFF FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Date: Thursday, November 1 2007

New York residents and builders have significantly reduced the state's energy use and greenhouse gas emissions over the last six years by investing in homes that have earned the Energy Star label. Since 2001, more than 10,800 New York Energy Star labeled homes have been built in the state, saving

nearly 14 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and 603 billion BTUs of fossil fuel. Collective energy savings from these homes means that more than 44,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide is kept out of the atmosphere every year.
